- The business case for electrifying industrial heat : Evidence from selected EU Member States

- Zusammenfassung:
- Reducing Europe’s reliance on imported fossil fuels while safeguarding industrial competitiveness is an urgent EU priority. Industrial process heat accounts for over half of industrial energy use, making it a critical lever for strengthening energy security and cutting emissions. This study assesses the economic, emission reductions, and energy security potential of electrifying low- and medium-temperature industrial process heat, which represents around half of total process heat demand and can already be supplied by mature technologies such as heat pumps and electric boilers. Drawing on case studies from Germany, Italy and Poland, it shows that under the right conditions – including competitive electricity prices, effective carbon pricing, and supportive industrial policy - electrification can outperform fossil-based and other low-carbon alternatives across in terms of costs, emissions, and energy savings.
